CONGRATULATION. 



The Committee of the Class of 1846, appointed at the second Class Meeting- 
after graduation, July 30, 1856, to prepare some memorials of the Class and its 
members, congratulate the Class on their appointment, and on the circumstances, 
influences and characteristics that prevented their executing the work assigned. 
For various reasons the preparation was so long delayed that the whole matter 
would have been referred to another meeting of the Class, with a report of 
progress (?), but for the special interest taken in the matter by Dr. J. W. Barstow. 
The Committee take great pleasure in laying before the Class the accompanying 
results of his interested labor. The work announces itself as his. His observant 
eye, his warm, retentive memory, his graceful hand, will be recognized on every 
page. At the approaching Class Meeting the Class will have opportunity to 
express their sense of the value of his services ; and also to vote thanks to the 
Committee for having prepared the way, by their fidelity, for his intervention. 

The pamphlet is brought out in anticipation of the third meeting of the Class, 
to be held July 21, 22 and 23, 1863. Let the reception of a copy of this pamphlet 
be a renewed notice of the meeting, and a warning to each Classmate to appear in 
person, or report himself seasonably by letter to the Secretary.

EXPLANATION. 



To my Classmates, and especially to the Committee of Publication, a word of 
apology may be due for my share in this work. It was commenced long ago, 
with the design merely of aiding the Committee in the collection of materials. 
But the request being at length made, that I would complete the manuscript 
according to the plan commenced, I have endeavored to do so, at the risk, 
perhaps, of being charged with officiousness. 

My hope is, however, that this may be forgiven by the Class, in view of the 
honest effort to save their names from oblivion, in the pages, even, of an imperfect 

history.

MINUTES OF CLASS MEETINGS. 



1846. 

At a meeting of the Senior Class, in Society Hall, a few days before Commence- 
ment, it was 

Voted, That the first regular Class Meeting, after graduation, be held in 1849, 
at Commencement. 

18 49. 

On the morning of July 26 (Commencement day) a preliminary meeting of the 
Class was accordingly held in Society Hall, at which it was voted " To meet at 7 
P. M. at the rooms of Bro. Weeks (Mr. Markham's house)." 

At 7 o'clock there were present the following members ; namely, Aiken, 
Barstow, Blaisdell, McClure, Weeks, Wellman. 

Partridge had been in attendance upon some of the Commencement exer- 
cises, but was not present at this meeting. 

Weeks was called to the Chair, and Aiken was requested to serve as Secretary. 
It was suggested that we appoint a permanent Secretary of the Class, not only to 
note the proceedings of our occasional meetings, but more especially to record, as 
accurately as they may be traced, the future course and history of each member, 
and to collect such memorials of each as he may, for use at our meetings and for 
private reference. The proposition was adopted, and Aiken was chosen Secretary. 

It was also agreed, that each member shall consider it his duty to advise the 
Secretary, from time to time, of his whereabouts, especially in case of a change of 
residence, and to make early report of any event of special interest occurring in 
his personal history. 



b MINUTES OE CLASS MEETINGS. 

The remainder of the hour was spent in discussing College days, their recol- 
lections being yet comparatively fresh, and in exchanging information of absent 
brethren. The meeting was interrupted by the arrival of the hour for the Levee, 
at the College Libraries. I 

It was voted " That the next Class Meeting be held at Commencement, 
in 1856, and that the members be expected to bring with them their wives and 
children." 

The Secretary attempts no report of the pleasant conversation which occupied 
most of the hour of meeting, as such things are not to be transferred to paper. 
Suffice it to say, that the members separated with deeper interest in each other, and 
a confirmed conviction that the Class of 1846 will perform its part in the active 
duties of life, without disappointment of the high hopes entertained of it during 
their College course. 

Thus ended the first Class Meeting, in 1849. 

C. A. AIKEN, Secretary. 

1856. 

Dartmouth College, July 30. 

According to the vote of 1849, the Class of 1846 held its second meeting in 
Society Hall, this day, at 8 A. M. 

Dr. J. W. Barstow was chosen to preside at this and subsequent meetings of the 
Class during the day. 

Nothing was attempted at this preliminary meeting beyond making arrange- 
ments for a supper, this evening, at the Dartmouth Hotel, in connection with which 
all reports of members, both absent and present, shall be given in and recorded. 
Dr. E. H. Parker and Benjamin F. Ayer, Esq., were appointed a Committee of 
Arrangements. 

Voted, That special friends from other Classes, who may be present at Com- 
mencement, shall also be invited to the supper. 

The Secretary, Kev. C. A. Aiken, offered his resignation, which, however, was 
subsequently withdrawn. 

Adjourned to meet at 9% o'clock P. M. (after the concert and fireworks), at 
the Hall of the Dartmouth Hotel. 



MINUTES OF CLASS MEETINGS. 7 

There were present, either at the morning or the evening meeting, on this day, 
the following individuals, being a majority of the living members of the Class ; 
namely, 

Rev. Charles A. Aiken, Yarmouth, Me. 

George T. Angell, Esq., Boston, Mass. 

Benjamin F. Ayer, Esq., Manchester, N. H. 

Dr. J. W. Barstow, Flushing, L. I. 

Rev. J. J. Blaisdell, Cincinnati, O. 

George A. Gordon, Esq., Lawrence, Mass. 

Daniel, S. Hough, Esq., New- York City. 

Hon. M. C. McClure, Claremont, N. H. 

Dr. Edward H. Parker, New-York City. 

Rev. A. H. Quint, Jamaica Plains, Mass. 

Rev. Roger M. Sargent, Gilmanton, N. H. 

Hon. Isaac W. Smith, Manchester, N. H. 

Rev. Joshua W. Wellman, West Newton, Mass. 

9.30 P. M. The Class reassembled according to adjournment. All the members 
above mentioned were present, excepting Blaisdell, who was obliged, on account 
of sickness in his family, to return during the afternoon to his friends in Lebanon. 

While the good things prepared by the Committee were disappearing, past and 
present were familiarly discussed, old recollections revived, old nicknames re- 
applied, and the style of conversation slipped back insensibly into that of ten years 
ago. Each one recurred to the past and brought forth from his own stock of 
reminiscences some new incident or tale to add to the general fund of memories of 
the former days. Shall we allude to them here ? Shall we speak again of those 
once absorbing questions in College politics, which caused achings of head and 
heart, sleepless nights, and bitterness of feeling? They have all passed away 
and left »o trace. Shall we repeat the story of disputed elections, which thrilled 
societies to their center, and vexed the souls of ambitious candidates ? Who but 
ourselves remember them now ? Of the ancient bickerings and coups c?etat of 
secret societies, once threatening revolution, now a tradition and a joke of ten 
years ago. Surely, tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in Mis. The ghosts of former 
strifes, once so restless, are now happily laid by Time's conservative influence, and 
we are content to let them pass. 



8 MINUTES OF CLASS MEETINGS. 

Other recollections there were, also, both general and personal, which could not 
fail to come up for a passing word in such an interview, as belonging to the history 
of our common past — incidents in chapel and recitation room ; stories of walks to 
the "President's Garden," and even of visits to the President's study; yarns of 
geologizing at Moose Mountain, and of pickerel taking at Goose Pond ; annals 
of Handel Society and Flute Club, with mention of tender serenades and ambitious 
concerts ; the ancient feuds " 'twixt town and gown"; the disputes with officious 
" towneys" when we were always right and they were always wrong ; and the well 
remembered battles of the coio-pens. The Phalanx — its morning drills and half 
holidays for training ; the ovation to the " slayer of Tecumseh "; the "muster up to 
Lyme"; the annual "swearing in" of officers by Col. Brewster, with the whole 
history of that redoubtable corps, from 1842 to its peaceful and triumphant end 
in Senior fall term — all this, and more of the same was recalled, if not recorded. 
Thus, during the hour, we traveled again over the incidents of our four College 
years — reminded successively of Freshmen trials, Sophomore sufferings, Junior 
temptations, and Senior triumphs. 

The cloth being removed, the roll was called of all who had ever been members 
of the Class. Those present made full report for themselves, and for the absent 
ones the Secretary and other members of the Class gave account as they were able. 
So the big and the little hours passed on, until 4 o'clock on the morning of Com- 
mencement day. 

It was voted that the members of the Class be requested to report 
themselves annually, to the Secretary, during Commencement week, so far 
as possible. 

Voted, That the next Class Meeting be held in connection with the Commence- 
ment of 1863, and, also, that the Class meet again on the occasion of the Cen- 
tennial Celebration of the founding of Old Dartmouth, in 1869. 

Voted, That the history of this meeting, together with a brief history of the 
several members, be printed in pamphlet form for the use of the Class. 

The Secretary (Rev. C. A. Aiken), Hon. I. W. Smith, and Rev. A. H. Quint, 
were appointed a committee to superintend this publication. 

Finally, after singing "Auld Lang Syne" in full chorus, with hands joined 
around the table, the motion to adjourn for seven years was made and carried. 
Thus ended the second Class Meeting, in 1856.

The facts communicated at the supper, and since collected, will be found 
incorporated in the individual sketches which make up the following pages. 

It appears that three members of the Class, Tilton, McKeen, and Partridge, 
had died between the meetings of 1849 and 1856. To this sad list we must now 
add another, McClure, who died in 1860. , 

The number of living members is now twenty-four. Of these there are — 
Clergymen, 8 

Physicians, 2 

Lawyers, 6 

Teachers, 5

The three years next succeeding graduation were spent in teaching in the 
Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass., and at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. 

In October, 1849, he entered Andover Theological Seminary. This course of 
study was broken by a visit to Europe, which occupied the time from September, 
1851, to April, 1853. This interval was passed mainly at the Universities of Halle 
and Berlin, in Prussia. The course of study resumed at Andover was completed 
in September, 1853. 

October 19, 1854, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in 
Yarmouth, Me., where he remained until July, 1859. 

In 1856 he was appointed Professor of Biblical Literature in the Chicago 
Theological Seminary, then about to be opened, but declined the appointment. 

In 1859 he was appointed Professor of Latin Language and Literature in 
Dartmouth College (vice Prof. E. D. Sanborn), which position he still holds. 

October 17, 1854, he married Miss Sarah E. Noyes, of Andover, Mass.

Mass., where he remained about the same length of time. He then went to 
Charlestown, Mass., teaching first as sub-master and afterward as head-master in 
the Winthrop Grammar School. In September, 1852, after four years of expe- 
rience in Charlestown, he went to Boston and took the position of sub-master 
in the English High School. This position he still fills, a most useful and 
successful teacher.

Nat. June 5, 1823, ) ( Present Residence, 

southbridge, mass. ) ( boston, mass. 

Immediately after graduation Mr. Angell obtained a situation in the Mather 
Grammar School, in Boston, as usher, and about the same time commenced 
reading law, at intervals, in the office of Hon. Richard Fletcher. In the fall of 
1849 he gave up his connection with the school, and entered the law office of 
Charles G. Loring, Esq., and for two years pursued the study of the law at the 
Cambridge Law School, and with Mr. Loring. He was then admitted to the bar 
of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and was immediately received into the 
law office of Hon. Richard Fletcher and Hon. Samuel E. Sewell, with whom he 
was associated in business, pleasantly and profitably, for several years. Subse- 
quently, he formed a law partnership with Mr. Sewell, under the name of Sewell 
& Angell. This firm still continues, and does a lucrative business in the highest 
courts of the State — generally in the most difficult suits and of the greatest 
magnitude. 

He has received the appointment of Commissioner, resident in Massachusetts, 
from every State and Territory in the Union. He has never been married ; has 
kept entirely aloof from politics, and devoted himself entirely to his business, 
which, in consequence, can not have been otherwise than entirely successful. 

He leads a quiet but useful life, and enjoys, in an eminent degree, the confi- 
dence of his professional brethren and of the community in which he resides. 



BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AYER.

Law School at Cambridge; after which he returned to Manchester, and after 
another year's study in the office of Mr. Morrison, was admitted to the New- 
Hampshire bar, at the session of the Superior Court, in Concord, in July, 1849. 
He at once opened an office in Manchester, and in 1850 he was elected Clerk of the 
Common Council for the city, which office he held for one year. In May, 1851, 
he formed a law partnership with the late Hon. Samuel H. Ayer, which was 
dissolved by the death of the latter, in October, 1853. 

He was elected to the New-Hampshire House of Representatives in 1853. 
From 1853 to 1856 he held the office of Prosecuting Attorney for Hillsborough

the law firm of Stuart & Ayer. In 1861 he was appointed Corporation Attorney 
of the city, which office he still holds. In 1862 July 4, he delivered the oration 
at the public celebration held under the auspices of the municipal authorities of 
Chicago. 

He was appointed to prepare the revised charter of the city of Chicago — after- 
ward enacted by the Illinois Legislature — a work of 200 pages, which was most 
successfully accomplished. In 1863 he was appointed to revise the city ordinances 
of Chicago, a labor of much magnitude and importance, which was also most 
satisfactorily performed. 

He married in Hanover, N. H., August 13, 1850, Miss Phebe T. Whipple, 
daughter of the late Hon. Thomas Whipple, of Wentworth, N. H.

[As we go to press we are saddened by the tidings that Mr. Ayer's wife died on 
the 1st June, 1863, of rapid consumption. He had, also, only two weeks previ- 
ously, lost his youngest child. Mrs. Ayer was known personally to many of the 
Class, having resided in Hanover for several years previous to her marriage. No 
one who reads this sad announcement, will fail to recall her many rare attrac- 
tions and excellencies, or refuse to offer heartfelt sympathy to our Classmate in 
his heavy bereavement.]

in the Penitentiary Hospital, Black well's Island. 

In January, 1853, he received the offer from the Smithsonian Institute of appoint- 
ment as Naturalist to Lieut. Gunnison's Pacific Railroad Expedition, which he did 
not accept, thus escaping the fate of that unfortunate party, who, in 1854, fell 
victims on the Plains to Comanche, or, as has since been proved, to Mormon 
barbarity.

labor, he returned to the States and commenced the study of law in the office of 
his father, Judge Blaisdell, of Lebanon. In October, 1849, he exchanged the study 
of law for that of theology, and entered Andover Theological Seminary, where 
he graduated in 1852.

place. He remained in Hadley four years, practicing his profession with success, 
and serving, also, during a portion of the time, as town-clerk. In 1852 he sailed 
for California, and opened a broker's office in Sacramento city, where he remained 
one year. His health becoming impaired he spent some time at the mines, and in 
the hunting of game in the Santa Clara valley for the San Francisco market. The 
change proved a fortunate one, both for his health and as a matter of pecuniary 
profit, and in 1856 he was able to resume his profession. He opened an office in 
Tuolumne, and in 1857 removed to Columbia, where he now resides, in the suc- 
cessful practice of the law. (Columbia is about 60 miles northeast of Stockton.) 

In the fall of 1862 a newspaper was received from him, giving his address

removed to Attleborough, Mass., and was settled over the First Congregational 
Church in that place, where he remained nearly six years, and was dismissed to 
take charge of the Congregational Church in Old town, Me., in which relation he

He spent the Winter succeeding graduation in teaching, and in the Spring of 
1847 commenced the study of law in the office of Hon. Josiah Quincy, of Rumney,

native town. 

A change of climate being urged by his physicians, in the hope of giving 
permanent relief to his eyes, he sailed for Valparaiso, Chili, in June, 1849. There 
he resided for several years. His health having partially improved, he was able to 
devote himself to teaching, and opened a school for the children of English and 
American residents, in which he was very successful. 

In April, 1859, he returned to his native land, after an absence of ten years. 

In 1860 he opened a Female Boarding School at Kingston, N. Y., on the banks 
of the Hudson, where he still resides. 

He married, in Valparaiso, Chili, December, 1854, Miss Caroline W. Trumbull, 
of Colchester, Conn.

JOHN MERCHANT STURTEVANT. 

Nat. March 26, 1825, ) ( Present Residence, 

Mattapoisett, Ms. ) ( Nashville, Tenn. 

Soon after graduating he entered the Blind Institution at South Boston, as 
teacher, where he remained, with the exception of a few months, for five years. 

In 1851 he removed to Nashville, Tennessee, having been appointed Principal 
of the Tennessee State Institution for the Blind. This position he continues to 
fill with fidelity and success. 

By a recent letter from a member of his family, we have gathered the following 
additional facts : 

"Mr. S. remained in Nashville during all the time that city was under rebel 
sway, and although he was known to be a Union man, was never molested, in 
person or property. His services as Principal of the Institution for the Blind were 
so highly esteemed by the Trustees of that School, that, although he was avowedly 
Union, he was not dismissed." 

" The Institution at Nashville is temporarily suspended. The building, having 
been taken for a hospital by the Confederate Government in November, 1861, and 
after being occupied as such by both rebels and federals, until September, 1862, 
was demolished by the United States authorities as standing in the way of one 
of their forts." 

" Mr. S. is now engaged (June, 1863) in the attempt to secure compensation for 
its destruction, with the view of reestablishing the School, or at least providing 
for some orphan blind children who were made homeless by its suspension." 

He married, June 18, 1855, Miss Eliza W. Robinson, daughter of Samuel 
Robinson, Esq., of Winchester, Tenn.

Weeks was an exception to the rest of the Class, in the fact that he was a

After graduating he remained three years in Hanover, having charge of Moor's 
Charity School. 

In September, 1849, he resigned his position at Hanover, and in December of 
the same year was appointed Usher in the Mather School, South Boston, Mass,, 
where he remained seven years. 

In the summer of 1856 he removed to Sanbornton, N. H., for the benefit of his 
wife's health, but the change proved of no avail. She sank under a pulmonary 
disease of long standing, and died shortly after the removal. 

From 1856 to 1863 we have little knowledge of our classmate's whereabouts. 
We have, however, recently" learned that he is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where 
he has married again, and is settled in the practice of law.

JOHN LANGDON WADLEIGH TILTON. 

He was a native of Meredith, N. H., and was born in January, 1812. Tilton, or 
as he was universally called iu College, from his association with the " Dartmouth 
Phalanx," " Captain Tilton," was by many years the senior member of our 
Class. He was a man of mature intellect and of much knowledge of the world, 
differing from most students at the time of their entering College, in his larger 
previous experience of men and things. This fact naturally added to his influence 
and gave weight to his opinions. Tilton was a man of much dignity of bearing, 
of reserved manners, and cautious in his confidences, but, withal, of kindly dis- 
position and noble impulses. 

Law was his chosen profession, and his reading, even in College, was directed 
chiefly to that end. After graduation he entered the law office of D. S. Kichardson, 
Esq., of Lowell, Mass., where he remained until January, 1849. He then sailed 
for California, in the bark " Oxford," making the passage round Cape Horn, and 
reaching San Francisco in August following. Thence he proceeded directly to 
the mines ; but his powers of endurance proved unequal to the toils and privations 
of a miner's life, and a few weeks only had passed when he was seized with brain 
fever of a grave type. From this attack he never fully recovered, although, 
after lingering for several months, he rallied sufficiently to allow of his return 
home. He was fortunate in securing the services and the companionship of 
friends, who sailed with him from San Francisco, December 9, 1849, and after a 
journey of three tedious months, he again reached Lowell (March 11, 1850), 
where, however, he survived but a single week. His relatives and friends enjoyed 
only the satisfaction of attending upon his last moments, while he was scarcely 
able to appreciate their kindness, or even to express a consciousness of their 
presence. 

Tilton died March 18, 1850, aged 38 years. His death was noticed at some 
length in the Lowell papers, with appropriate sketches of his life and character. 
During the year before leaving Lowell he had become more extensively known in 



46 OBITUARY RECORD. 

the city than is usual with those who are merely law students. He entered into 
the political contest of 1848 with characteristic ardor, and was chosen President 
of the Cass and Butler Club in that city. His name also stood at the head of the 
Democratic representative ticket at the State election for that season. Personally 
he had many friends, and was constantly adding to their number. 

Under great discouragements Tilton had made his way to the threshold of 
professional life. For several years after he had become of age he had labored 
as a mechanic to procure the means of a better education, and his journey to 
California was undertaken for the sake of adding to his resources, for the purchase 
of a law library, and for securing other professional advantages ; but his plans 
were destined never to be realized, and at the outset of his career he was cut off 
by a mysterious Providence. 



GEORGE WHITEFIELD McKEEN. 

He was the only son of the Rev. Silas McKeen, of Bradford, Vt., where he 
was born, January 26, 1827. He was tenderly and most carefully reared, and 
his early childhood gave promise of unusual intellect, and of rare sweetness of 
temper — a promise which his advancing youth and maturer years fully confirmed. 
At the age of 10 he united with the Congregational Church, of which his father 
was pastor, and his preparation for College was with the full purpose of entering 
the ministry. 

McKeen joined our Class at the beginning of Sophomore year, and his rank 
as a scholar during the three years of his College life was always among the 
first. His sensitive nature deterred him from a general and an indiscriminate 
acquaintance, but he attached himself to his chosen friends with a peculiar ardor. 
With strangers his intercourse was reserved but courteous, and his bearing toward 
all was marked with the modest dignity of a Christian gentleman. During 
Senior year McKeen' s health was delicate. He suffered from dyspepsia, and from 
a degree of nervous debility which at times interrupted his attendance upon 
College duties. 

It was not, however, until a year after leaving College that he became hopelessly 
an invalid. He then abandoned his cherished hopes of the ministry, and with 
singular earnestness, devoted his waning energies to the study of medicine. The 
winter of 1849-50 he spent in New-York City in attendance upon medical lectures, 
but his still more rapid decline compelled a return to his home in Bradford, 
whei'e, after lingering for a few weeks, he expired on the 9th of June, 1850, 
aged 23 years. 
' In an obituary notice of McKeen, by Dr. Lord, published in the Vermont 
Chronicle, he says : "It was merciful that God permitted him to die at home — the 
much loved home, where a sainted mother had nursed and led him in the path of 
life — where an honored father could doubly minister to him in his extremity — 



48 OBITUARY RECORD. 

where loving sisters could wipe the death damp from his brow, and bid him 
Godspeed in the swelling of Jordan. They saw him triumph in Christ — they 
heard his thanksgivings — they expect to meet him in the resurrection." 

The funeral services of McKeen were performed on the 12th of June, in the 
presence of great numbers, and his mortal remains lie beside those of his rela- 
tives in the family burial ground at Bradford. 



EDWARD ALTAMONT PARTRIDGE. 

He was born March 20, 1826. It is presumed that his native place was Nor- 
wich, Vt., but this fact is not certainly ascertained. He was a nephew of the late 
well known Capt. Alden Partridge, of the Norwich University, and for a short 
time previous to his entering Dartmouth, had been a Cadet in that institution. 

In College, Partridge was a ready, fluent, and exact scholar, and a man of most 
amiable and gentle disposition. His associates were few, from the fact that he 
spent most of his time, when not occupied in College duties, with his friends in 
Norwich. 

On graduating, Partridge delivered the Greek oration, which was much com- 
mended. 

After leaving College he adopted the profession of a civil engineer, and until 
I860, was employed in the construction of the Sullivan Railroad, in New- 
Hampshire. 

March 24, 1852, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Cook, of Claremont, N. H. 

In 1853 he was engaged professionally in Pennsylvania, and afterward removed 
to Buffalo, N. Y., in which city he died, after a short illness, May 23, 1855, aged 29 
years. 

The above items were furnished, in part, by Classmate McClure, who resided 
in Claremont ; was long intimate with Partridge, and was the only member of the 
Class who was present, both at his marriage and his funeral. 

Who could then foresee that McClure' s own obituary would be the next to be 
written ? 

The remains of Partridge lie buried in Claremont, N. H., where also his widow 
resides, with her only child, a daughter (Mary Elizabeth), born in 1853. 



MILON CRAIG McCLURE. 

He was born in Acworth, N. H., January 7, 1819. Of his childhood we know 
but little. He was fitted for College at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, 
and at once took a high rank in the Class. For mathematics he had a special 
fondness — often devoting to Calculus and Analytical Geometry hours which most 
students prefer to spend in recreation, or in reading which requires less mental 
effort. He used the libraries much, reading with care the standard authors. 
He was exact rather than quick, but thorough and faithful as a student, and 
whatever he did was always well done. 

After graduating McClure taught two years in Claremont Academy. His pupils 
will bear witness to his fidelity and his thorough scholarship. He then studied 
law in the office of P. C. Freeman, Esq., of Claremont ; was admitted to the New- 
Hampshire Bar July 4, 1849, and became a partner of Mr. Freeman, with whom 
he remained until his death. 

In 1855 he was elected a member of the State Council, and reelected the 
following year. 

In 1857-8 he represented the town of Claremont in the State Legislature. 

Though not lacking in manly ambition, he did not seek excitement. In April, 
1858, he says, writing to a Classmate : "I have been quite successful in business, 
and the current of my life has flowed so smoothly that I have scarcely perceived 
with what rapidity time is passing." 

In the midst of his professional usefulness and success he was seized with 
typhoid fever, and after a brief illness of five days he died (September 1, 1860), aged 
41 years. His funeral was conducted with Masonic honors, and his remains were 
conveyed to Acworth, where they now rest with his kindred. 

McClure was never married. From his native sensitiveness and reserve many 
of his social qualities passed unappreciated, both in College and in his subsequent 
intercourse with the world ; but within his chosen circle of friends the rare 
excellencies, both of mind and heart, were freely manifested. He was genial, but 



OBITUARY RECORD. 51 

not familiar ; witty, but never frivolous ; ready in conversation, but never 
rambling ; sure of his ground in argument, but never dogmatic. 

McClure was a profound lawyer, and his caution, sagacity, and honesty, made 
him ever a safe counsellor. His accurate knowledge of law always commanded 
the attention of the Court, while his uniform courtesy won for him the esteem 
and confidence of his professional brethren. 

Thus, in every duty, in every department of fife where he was called to serve, 
his work was well performed. True to himself, he could be false to no man.
